Rady First New Melrose Place Cast Member

“Swingtown” alum Michael Rady is the first actor cast in the new “Melrose Place,” says The Hollywood Reporter.

The actor landed the job Wednesday morning, a day after The CW officially greenlighted the pilot for the “Melrose” update, to be directed by Davis Guggenheim.

On the CBS Par project, written by “Smallville” executive producers/co-showrunners Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer, Rady will play Jonah Miller, a cute and quirky 25-year-old aspiring filmmaker who makes his living as a videographer of weddings and bar mitzvahs for the rich and famous after moving to Los Angeles with his fiancee a year ago.
